 Some people who are ill will do almost anything in the hope of getting better. This has just been illustrated in the case been sufferer from asthma for years, and on being told recently by friend that if he would swallow few bird shot every day for few weeks he would be cured, he promptly began to do so. After he had swallowed about four pounds violent symp- toms of lead poisoning were developed and the man was obliged to go to physician. His life was saved, but he still has the asthma as bad as ever.
 Muhlenberg county, Kentucky, has an in teresting legal fight. The county twenty years ago voted four hundred thousand dol- lars to pay Q subscription to the stock of the Elizabethtown and Paducah railroad. The road was built and the county got all expect ed advantages, but the people found the pay ment of the interest on their debt burden- some and in 1874 ceased to pay it. The creditors got judgment in 1S76-but the county magistrates, rather than levy tax for the payment, resigned, and others, when elected, followed their example. Alter two or three years the people ceased to elect them and no county officers have been elected for seven years. There appears to be county judge, however, or was until two weeks ago, and he was ordered by mandamus from the United States court to levy tax to pay a judgment of $500 obtained by Mrs. Meri- wether on county bonds owned by her. The county judge did not dare to obey the man. damus and the United States Circuit court issued an attachment against him for kcon- tempt, but the judge had disappeared and is supposed to be in Canada or Mexico. There are no other county officers who have author ity to levy tax.
 This is great, glorious and free country, although the report of the grand jury of Kinds county, Mississippi, on the condition of the State penitentiary does not indicate it.

Most of them have their backs cut in great wales, scars and blisters, some with the skin peel ing off in pieces, the result of severe beat ings. Their feet and hands, in some in- stances, show signs of frostbite, and all of

Pierre's Indian school

Pierre special: A report from Wash
ington that Pierre was not to have the In
dian school was a surprise to the people
here. For the past year and q half nego.
tlations have been pending between tbs
Pierre board of trade and.the government
looking to the location of an Indian In.
dustrial school at this place. On the
part of Pierre the board Of trade made
a proposition to deed the government,
$50 acres of land for school purposes. a
government agent was sent to investi-
gate the question and made o favorable
report. Deeds were then made out to
the government and the title was passed
upon favorably by the attorney general
but the deeds were not excepted. The
matter remained in this condition for
several months, but eliminated last
Friday, when a special agent arrived in
Pierre and placed the deeds on record,
thus accepting the proposition made by
our board of trade.

Washington April 30-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the friends OF Church
and Day have been again and again
assured of the existing friendly relations
OF those gentlemen, there is still q dis
position to carp at and find fault with
one or the other Of them by their self
constituted companions. The latest
effort Is made by some of Days
frisnds to show that the national COM
mitseeman controls the federal patronage
as firmly as ever. The postofioe
cases Of Aberdeen and Miller are
pointed at to show that Church
twas knocked OUT and that -FOUR man"
got there. The facts are, that Day and
U~hurchewere wise enough to unite in re-
commencing the same men for the
same office, and ,of course, they were ap.
pointed. There vas nothing of enmlty
between Day and Church in those, cases,
nor has there been anything of an IN
imicAl nature between them. Day
recommended frey for Aberdeen and
Feucht for Redfield many moons ago.
Church simply conourred in the wisdom
OF the Bon Homme man. There was no
contest nor indications Of contest be-
tween them.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL BRANCHES.

Cherokee Makinga Move for an Eek
tension to sioux Fall.
Cherokee, Iowa, is anxious for q rail-
road connection with Sioux Falls, and
on the 26th Q meeting was held to pres
ent the advantages OF such q connec-
ton before the proper petsons and work
up an interest for the proposed line.
The Cherokean says OF the meeting:
An enthusiastic railroad meeting way
held at Sylyester's hall on Thursday
night to take action ia the matter of
inducing the Illinois Central to bnild q
branch road from Cherokee to Sioux
Falls. There was q large attendance of
business men, and the interest manifest
ed shows plainly that our peopls are
alive to and ready to work for the best
interests OF the town. N. 7. Burroughs
was chosen chairman Of
the meeting and q. O.
| Herrick secretary. The object OF the
meeting was set forth by MIR. Wskeitld
to be to take action in the matter of
demonstrating to the officials Of the
Central road the advantages OF suoh q
branch and to unite with Sioux Fails,
which place has already taken action,
in securing She line. There Was con-
siderable discussion of the subject, and
the fact clearly demonstrated that
! Cherokee has advantages over any other
point as 9 starting point for such q
branch. It was also shown thas the FL
GERS OF the company looked upon the
scheme with favor, and ali that was
necessary wGs for the matter to be
properly placed before them. For this
purpose q committee was appointed,
consisting of Messrs. Wakefield, Herrick
and Terrell. who we're instructed to pre-
pare an address to the proper officials,
setting forth the advantages and the
feasibility of the route, and to take such
action with the citizens Of Sioux Falls
as might be deemed expedlent.
On Friday morning Mr.. O. a. Book,
general superintendent Of the Central
road, passed through the city and was
interviewed by o committee of citizens
at the depot. They were well received
by that gentleman and were given to
understand that the matter would have
careful ATTENTION when properly laid
before the directors. The affairs OF the
company are not sufficiently settled to
take MP anything OF the kind yet, but as
long ago as fourteen years when MI.
Beck visited this country, he was i'm
pressed with the fact that the Central
must have feeders and branches in this
northwestern Iowa. III the Central builds
any branches and can be made to see the
facts as they really exist, one branch will
be from Cherokee to Sioux Falls. Sioux
Falls wants it and Cherokee wants it,
and il. would pass through as good a
stretch OF territory &c the sun shines
on. Good ~perseyering and persistent
work will get it and our people are ready
for that.

these lands from settlement except
where the government may by law be
specifically required SO to do. The in
demnity limits are for the most part o
matter of department regulation, as to
which the president in his letter says:
"Such q condition of the public lands
should no longer continue. So far as it
is the result of executive rules and meth
DDS. these should be abandoned" This
statement is not made in terms in the
letter of the president, but this view is
the clear implication OF that letter.
"And," said 3 prominent interior de-
partment official, "the views of the presi.
don't will very probably control the
action OF the department." Secretary
Lamar has not returned, so that it is,
Of course, not possible to obtain his
opinion upon the subject; but Assistant
Secretary Muldrow, his chief assistant,
is of the opinion that the secretary will
regard this letter as an instruction.
The letter of the president may there
fore be considered of great Importance
20 the settlers and to the railroads. 1t
clearly indicates that the policy OF the
land Office, which has been followed for
fifteen years and more, is to be reversed.
II ia probable that some OF the railroads
for whose benefit the Indemnity lands
were withdrawn will decide that they
will proceed Immediately to make good
their claims.
